What the Johnson Johnson and Johnson is this??

But proto would make it very early, didnt they make frames already in the 80s? Why does it have 92 LX. E.g. 91 pod levers were flat, from 92 curved like that. Would be more likely to see it with m700 og m730 if it was actually made in the mid-late 80s.

This bike was obviously so good that they constantly upgraded it as it was on a par with, if not better than, more modern bikes.

They were obviously so proud of their technological achievement that they didn’t even need to used top end parts for this to be on the cutting edge of performance. They stuck with 92LX for fear that XT would make this bike TOO good and render all other bikes obsolete.

This is Museum quality, a benchmark that all others will be forever measured on

I actually want those forks, think they are seriously cool, albeit with the risk of death on every ride.
 
Just to set my own mind at rest that it is indeed a Trimble, after a bit of investigation I found this gem from
the smooth tarmac side. Clearly there's a lot more cereal packets gone into this than the MTB one, but
the same school of thought is all apparent.

It's when you risk it all, that you truly feel alive.

Just remember when you “Push the Envelope” it’s still Stationary

When you come from the West Country you have a tendency to spell words as you say them.

If I manage to get it, I'm toying with the idea of modifying a Disk Drive to fit it onto the drum hub up front.

Just for extra spice come the ride down the chippie...
 
Just love the green panic lever on that trimble road bike thing. Its either for when the front starts lifting at 37.2mph or you are heading for a ditch in a side wind.
